SUMMARY:Book Launch of "Shaf and the Remington" by Rana Bose
DESCRIPTION:Readings and Q & A \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be served. \n\n\n\n“The characters are so full of life\, distinct and engaging. The structure is perfect. I loved the artful ending. All is tied up but in a light\, electric way. Nothing is heavy-handed. The themes are so prescient. A brilliant exploration of ‘the end of an era’—the post-war truce between races\, religions and ideologies. I thank you for restoring my faith in the novel. In addition to being a fiercely intelligent political novel\, the prose is luscious.” Marianne Ackerman\, novelist\, playwright\, and journalist\, author of Mankind and Other Stories of Women

SUMMARY:Book Launch: David Homel's A HOUSE WITHOUT SPIRITS
DESCRIPTION:Join Véhicule Press to celebrate the launch of David Homel’s latest novel A HOUSE WITHOUT SPIRITS. Hosted by Esplanade Books editor Dimitri Nasrallah\, the event will feature a reading by the author and conversation about the novel with special guest Shelley Pomerance.\n***\nWhen Paul is hired to write a monograph of the Montreal photographer John Marchuk\, he assumes he’ll be able to turn over the eccentric project in a matter of weeks. Little does he know that over the next few months his visits with Marchuk\, in a house stuffed with boxes stacked floor to ceiling with his life’s archive\, will expose an emptiness in his own home.\nIn A House Without Spirits\, Homel delivers some of his most memorable characters to date—reclusive artists\, disaffected life partners\, wandering ghosts\, cult-affiliated nuns—in a contemporary Montreal noir that reveals how much we learn about ourselves when we begin to ask questions of others.\n***\nDavid Homel is the author of nine novels and a memoir\, as well as a series of books for younger readers co-written with Marie-Louise Gay. A prize- winning writer and translator\, he has worked in documentary film\, print and radio journalism. He lives in Montreal.
